In compliance with Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act regulations 40 CFR 763, Subpart E (AHERA), Synergy Academy is required to notify parents, teachers, and all other building occupants that an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) is available to them in the office of the school. The AMP details the location of asbestos in the building and provides a record of inspections, re-inspections, periodic surveillance, and removal of asbestos.
Periodic surveillance of Asbestos Containing Building Material (ACBM) is conducted by district personnel every six months and a thorough re-inspection of ACBM is conducted once every three years by the school’s environmental consultant.
